TOY SAVINGS-BAN K.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,830, dated May 20,1884.

Application filed March 13, 1884. (No model.)

, and claimed.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figure l is a side view of my boxwith one of its sides removed, showing the interior of the box; Fig. 2,a cross-section of same, taken in the line a: m, Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a sideview with side broken out, showing position of animal on the surface ofthe box; and Fig. 4. is a section on line 3 y, Fig. 2, showing theconnection of the turn-collar and shaft.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in the several figures.

This invention particularly relates to toy savings-banks that employsome amusing mechanical device to lend interest to the toy and encouragea saving habit.

In the construction of my savingsbank a rectangular box, A, ofconvenient size and or namented to represent a baiilobuilding, is firstmade. The bottom of this box is formed by a slide, a, which is fixed inplace by a screw, 2). The upper surface, 0, of this box hasformed in itsfront and rear parts openings (Z and c, the opening (I being covered bya fixed roof-shaped cover, B, with a slot, f, in its under side, and theopening 6 is covered by a similar roofshaped cover, 0, which lastnamedroof, however, is hinged at its rear side to the box A, as at 9. Also,into this upper surface, (2, is cut a slot, n.

Passing through the sides of the box A, and resting in suitablebearings-or openings made for that purpose, is a shaft, D, with one ofits ends, 71, projecting somewhat beyond the Into this projecting end isOnto this projecting end h side of the box. inserted a pin, it.

is loosely fitted a collar, E, with a recess, Z, cut into it, withinwhich recess is received the pin 70.

To the shaft D, and within the box A, is fit ted a disk, F. To thisdisk, at a suitable point, as is shown in the figures, is fixed one endof a coil-spring, G, the other end of this spring being secured to thebottom a or side of the box A. Also, to the disk F is fastened one endof an arm, m. To the other end of this arm is attached a simulatedmouse, H, or other suitable animal-or figure.

Now, when my toy bank is constructed substantially as described, it isoperated in this wise: The collar E is turned to the right. The

pin 70 in the recess Z of the collar causes the shaft D to turn. In likemanner the disk F, also turning, extends the coil-spring G to a certainextent, the animal H being within the box A and beneath the cover 0. Acoin now being placed upon the slot 41, the collar E is slightly turnedin a reverse direction until the spring G passes its center, or to theright of the axis of the disk F, a point where it can exert its greatestforce, which it does suddenly, compelling the shaft D to turnindependently of its collar E, (since the pink travels in the recess Zand the rotation of the shaft is not checked by the hand of theoperator,) and as this shaft quickly turns, its disk F, turninglikewise, causes the arm or, with the animal H, to suddenly emerge fromthe opening 6 and draw back the cover C. At the same time the arm m,passing into the slot it, strikes the coin and shoots it through theslot f in the cover B,.through the opening (I, into the interior of thebox A, where it remains until the screw 1) is removed and the slide aWithdrawn.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A toy bank consisting of a box, A, with openings (1 and e, revolvingshaft D, disk F, and collar E, in,combination with a simulated animal,H, arm on, slot 9, and spring G, as and for the .purpose described.

2. In a toy bank, the combination of a revolving shaft, D, and pin iswith a loosely-fitted collar, E, thereon, constructed with 2t reoess, Z,whereby the shaft may, during part of its revolution, turn independentlyof said 001- of a revolving disk with an arm, on, slot g,

3. In a toy savings-bank, the combination spring G, box A, with openings(2 and 0, fixed cover B, and hinged cover 0, as and for the purposeshown.
